This was intentionally left out from the public API, and is also defined at:

In legacy systems, this flag is still used, unfortunately

A question from the sidelines — what client now needs/uses \recent? I ask because all I've heard about in the past few years is bugs: "My client reconnected and \recent changed", "connection pooling breaks \recent" etc.
